AsemconnectVietnam - According to the latest statistics of the Customs Department, by the end of August, Vietnam's exports reached 305.92 billion USD, up by 14.8% over the same period last year.

The export results in the past 8 months were extremely positive in the context of many fluctuations in global trade. Contributing to the impressive export achievements were key commodity groups and markets.
7 groups of tens of billions of USD
In 8 months, a number of commodity groups continued to record impressive growth, consolidating Vietnam's position on the global trade map, including 7 groups of commodities with turnover of 10 billion USD or more.
Computers, electronic products and components continued to be the largest commodity group and an important driving force in Vietnam's export growth.
In the past 8 months, this group of goods brought in a turnover of 66.87 billion USD, a sharp increase of 43.1% over the same period last year.
Phones and components have recorded a recovery in recent months to maintain their position as Vietnam's second largest export group.
By the end of August, the export of this group of goods reached 38.2 billion USD, an increase of 2.4% over the same period last year. This is a remarkable result because in the first months of the year, phones and components had negative growth.
Thus, the 2 high-tech groups mentioned above alone brought in a turnover of more than 105 billion USD. This affirms Vietnam's position as one of the world's important centers for the production and export of high-tech products.
The third group of goods, machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts, also recorded a significant growth of 13.8%, reaching 37.4 billion USD.
The remaining 4 groups of tens of billions of USD include textiles; footwear; means of transport and spare parts; wood and wood products with the results respectively: 26.47 billion USD, up by 8.5%; 16 billion USD, up by 7.2%; 11.39 billion USD, up by 12.7%; 11.12 billion USD, up by 6.5%.
Thus, the 7 main commodity groups mentioned above alone contributed up to 67.8% of the total export turnover of the country.
In addition, the past 8 months also recorded many large commodity groups with impressive growth rates. Typically, toys, sports equipment and parts with a breakthrough growth rate of up to 121.8%, reaching nearly 5.5 billion USD.
In the agricultural sector, there were also impressive results in many key commodity groups such as: seafood reaching 7.16 billion USD, up by 13.5%; coffee reaching 6.5 billion USD, up by 61.1%; Cashew nuts reached 3.28 billion USD, up by 17.9%; pepper reached 1.13 billion USD, up by 28.4%.
Impressive growth in many major markets
Statistics showed that export activities have impressive and steady growth in many important markets.
In particular, the United States continues to be Vietnam's largest export market, with a total turnover of 99 billion USD, up by 26.38% over the same period last year.
This outstanding growth affirms the importance of the US market for Vietnam's goods exports.
In the past 8 months, the Hong Kong market (China) also surprised with its growth rate among the highest among major markets.
Specifically, exports to this market reached 11.18 billion USD, up by 36.81%. This showed the increasing role of Hong Kong in Vietnamese goods.
Major markets in Europe also recorded positive growth such as Germany reaching 6.2 billion USD, up by 17.73%; France reaching 2.64 billion USD, up by 18.7%.
Meanwhile, other key export markets in Asia such as China, South Korea, Japan also maintained remarkable growth.
In particular, China reached 42 billion USD, up by 9.18% and continued to be the second largest export market of Vietnam.
For the South Korean and Japanese markets, the results were 18.93 billion USD, up by 11.77%; 17.48 billion USD, up by 8.95% respectively.
Looking at the overall picture, Vietnam's export activities in the past 8 months have achieved many positive results, demonstrating the ability to adapt and develop in the context of many challenges in the global economy.
The strong growth of high-tech products such as computers, electronic products and components; along with the breakthrough of the agricultural sector such as coffee have contributed significantly to the country's export growth.
On average, in the past 8 months, exports reached more than 38.6 billion USD/month. If this result is maintained in the last 4 months of the year, 2025 will record a new record turnover of about 460 billion USD.
The above milestone is completely achievable, because normally exports in the last months of the year often increase higher than in the first period of the year. In fact, in the last 2 months, exports have reached over 40 billion USD/month, higher than the average.
